Sunday Meetings

We start Sundays at River of Life with a prayer meeting in the Prayer Room at 10.00 am. Then the main Sunday service at River of Life Church is the Morning Service at 10.30 am. The service is unstructured and informal - we don’t use Prayer Books or forms of liturgy at River of Life, and commences with music, praise and worship which is led by our Worship Leader . During the service we also pray for those who are sick or in need, and we also remember in prayer the world-wide Church and Christians in other countries who may be being persecuted for their faith.

During the service one of our pastors will preach or teach from the Bible and afterwards the church meets for coffee and chat in the Coffee Area for those wishing to stay a while after the service.

Every other Sunday evening at River of Life is either a Prayer Meeting or a special Healing Service where those in need of healing can come and receive prayer for healing. We regularly see miracles of healing at River of Life and many people have been able to testify that God has healed them in answer to prayer at these meetings. In Mark 16:18 Jesus said that His disciples and followers would “place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

We have seen this happen many times at River of Life Church.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
